Bob Wolak said he once won $64,000 at the track in Seabrook. He said that when he went to tell his wife back then, she didn't believe him, and this time was no exception.

The Wolaks almost won a lot more. Their Powerball number was off the winning number by one.

"Of course you kick yourself -- 18 and the winner was 19 -- but I'm happy with $1 million," he said.

Bob Wolak said he normally doesn't play the lottery and didn't watch the drawing. Thursday morning, he had the news on and heard something about a winning ticket.

"Then they said D & D Country Store in Belmont, New Hampshire, and I said, 'Whoa, wait a minute,'" he said. "I googled the lottery, and I checked my ticket, and I said,'I won!'"

He then went to tell his wife, who was skeptical.

"He came upstairs and said, 'Hon, I won the Powerball,'" Debbie Wolak said. "I said, 'No, you didn't.' He said, 'Yeah, I won $1 million.' I went, 'No, no, no,' and I jumped out of bed, and then we checked again on the computer and put the numbers in, and he won."

Mark Dickson, the owner of the store where the ticket was sold, said he bought his tickets the same time as Bob Wolak did.

"It's our last day here as D & D Country Market," Dickson said. "We've sold the business, so we're going out with a bang. I was very excited and also thought possibly I won."

Dickson said he's very happy for the Wolaks, who said they haven't decided what to do with the money.

Debbie Wolak said that she also won Thursday night, although a somewhat smaller amount -- $8. She said she plans to take her winnings to Las Vegas, although it wasn't exactly clear which winnings she had in mind.
